@hamcarless Stephen Hawking. Simply because I'm pretty sure I could take him.

If this guy is back, I’m out. See you, Twitterworld. You were better under the bird than the black X, as weirdly appropriate as it may be.

We have two choices: we can build the homes we actually need, in the places where we need them, or we can sell off environmentally sensitive land that will put billion$ in the pockets of Doug and his developer friends.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

We have two choices: we can build more homes or we can sit back and let the crisis get worse. Our government is choosing to build.

[Greg Paul @GregPaul58]

Does it strike anyone else as particularly fitting that Musk, as a political conservative, would choose as the (unnecessary) new symbol for this app a large black X? A philosophy of negation…

[Greg Paul @GregPaul58]

A sad loss. Segal was, in his time, the archetype of a Canadian-style Progressive Conservative: fiscally conservative and socially progressive. Those days are gone, and it’s an enormous loss for 🇨🇦. (Says one who has never voted Con.) https://t.co/0foYkq7W0k

35 million Canadians are even happier than you are, Piers. https://t.co/3TRWXzZtzt

Well geez, tough choice then…

I remember reading in the news about “Christian gunmen” in Lebanon when I was a teenager. Reading about the behaviour of “conservative Christians” now feels as oxymoronic. And I say that as one who is, theologically at least, a fairly “conservative” Christian.

In sum: slavish devotion to inflation reduction is yet another way those with less pay the price to protect the wealth of those with a lot more. https://t.co/Xz7B8ZqnC4

Proof that Doug possesses a particular kind of brilliance: able to simultaneously reinstate an honourable tradition and strip it of all honour. https://t.co/aCjRk3r9fB

This headline alone suggests to me that Biden is doing a fine job on the economy. https://t.co/jt0NQCweqx

[Greg Paul @GregPaul58]

Nice move, Doug: simultaneously re-instated an honourable tradition and stripped it of any meaningful honour.
No thanks’: Ford government only offered King’s Counsel title to Tory ex-attorneys general https://t.co/aCjRk3r9fB via @torontostar

There’s a first for everything. I finally agree with PP on something.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Premiers are calling for the feds to streamline licensing for foreign-trained workers.

My plan for a Blue Seal test would allow anyone who passes a merit-based exam to work as a nurse or doctor anywhere in Canada. We have the Red Seal that does this for trades, let's bring home Blue Seal for medical professionals.

@JoashPThomas Have you had (white) British food lately? It didn’t work.

[Patrick Gagnon 🍁 @patgagnon_75]

Understand when Pierre Poilievre says remove the gatekeepers, he specifically talking about removing:

*Environmental assessments
*Collective bargaining rights
*Women's bodily autonomy rights
*Cutting social services/ programs
*Loosening firearms control
*Rent protection

“After getting elected in 2018, Ford cancelled more than 700 renewable energy projects at a cost of $231 million, and the province, which was once the Canadian leader in building wind and solar, hasn’t built any since.”

[Mike Schreiner @MikeSchreiner]

Since taking office, Ford has cancelled 750 renewable energy projects costing taxpayers $230 million and axed efficiency programs that help people save money.

Ontarians will pay the price for this government’s refusal to embrace renewables in favour of high-cost SMRs.

Indeed.

Susan Delacourt: America’s far right is operating in Canada. Why don’t we consider that foreign interference? https://t.co/NvroPYB5hu

[Greg Paul @GregPaul58]

@JohnMcKayLib John, this is very helpful, but why doesn’t the government address the problem at source - the exorbitant profit margins and deliberate inflationary price increases by the major grocers?
